Connecticut

Connecticut does not impose specific regulations on AED programs, except for schools where their implementation is mandatory. Schools are responsible for maintaining AEDs, providing training, and ensuring proper documentation and post-event reporting. The state’s Good Samaritan law protects AED owners and users but does not extend to trainers or medical directors, nor does it require compliance with particular standards. Additionally, AEDs must be available in certain locations, including golf courses, specific schools, and health clubs.
